[PATCH 0/9] implement multi screen clone mode in drm-backend.so

[Jason Ekstrand]

Xiong,
I'm sorry for taking so long to reply; I meant to do so sooner but haven't
found the time.  First off, I'm glad to see someone implementing output
cloning.  It makes for all sorts of interesting cases that have yet to be
tested.  Also, I plan to implement it in the wayland backend at some point
in the not-so-distant future.  (Yes, it does make sense to put it in the
wayland backend.)

My biggest concern with your current implementation is that you are doing
things in terms of a compositor-wide "clone mode" instead of per output
"this output is a clone of that one".  I think it is reasonable for a
person to want, for instance three outputs A, B, and C where A and B are
"masters" and C is a clone of A.  Making it a compositor-wide flag would
completely rule out this case.

Thanks,
--Jason Ekstrand
